scotchmen are Disappointed.


 GLASGOW, Sept. 30.-Scotchmen are disappointed over the result Of to-day's race, but they admit that the Thistle was fairly beaten. It is believed if the race for the cup is again to be sailed in American waters the Scotch yacht to be successful must have 8 centerboard.

He1d for the Grand Jury.

George Taylor, living on the Washington
road, several miles from Westminster, was ar
rested last Saturday night by Deputy Sheriff
Zeiber, and on Wednesday was committed by
Justice g. w. Crapster for the action of the
grand jury at the May term of the Circuit
Court.
TAYLOR is accused of stealing clover and
timothy seed from N. |. Gorsuch & Son, grain
and produce merchants, this city. On last
Friday Taylor went to the warehouse OF N. L.
Gorsuch & Son, and, as alleged, picked up a
bag of clover seed, placed it on the scales,
and then called on Mr.. Chas. c. Gorsuch to
sell it. The bag was purchased On Satur-
day he came again and sold some timothy
seed, taking it, as alleged, from the firm.
As he had been there on Saturday, Mr.. Cor
such inquired his name, and Taylor gave the
name of John Harris. He applied to sell
some more timothy on Saturday, which was
bought, and in reply to question as to his
residence, said that he lived with John Wag-
ner, and that the seed was raised by George
Brown, near Mechanicsville. In looking at
the bags of seed in the elevator after the pur-
chases, Mr. Gorsuch found that he had bought
what had already belonged to him, and missed
a bag containing a bushel of timothy seed he
had also bought from Taylor. Upon investi-
CATION he found the bag at the warehouse of
Z. 0. Grimes & Co., who had purchased it
from man answering to the description of
Taylor.
Taylor's transactions were very bold and
if he had been content with his sales at N. L.
Gorsuch & Sons might not have been detect
ed In all his sales amounted to .75-Sl5
at n. l. Gorsuch & Sons and $3.50 at E. 0.

A Chance to Hear Booth.

Booth, the great actor, will play at the
Holiday Street Theatre next week. A num-
Der of persons being DESTROYS of hearing him,
an effort is now being made to get up an ex-
cursion to go down next Saturday evening, the
22d, upon which occasion Booth plays lago
in Othello. Arrangements have been made
with the Western Maryland Railroad for round
trip fare at $1.O0 from Westminster and Sl.25
from New Windsor; passengers to go down on
the regular train leaving New Windsor at 4. 40
AMI Westminster Sol, and return by special
train the same night, leaving Baltimore at
11.30. The price of reserved seats at the
theatre are S1.50 for orchestra chairs, and
$l.00 for balcony. These will be purchased
in advance, and those who go will have no
trouble in getting tickets.
In order to secure the extra train the rail-
road requires guarantee of fifty passengers;
and in order to get good seats at the theatre,
tickets must be purchased next Wednesday.
Those who choose to take chances on getting
tickets after getting to Baltimore can do so.
Those who want to go on the excursion can
leave their names, together with money for
railroad and theatre tickets at the ADVOCATE
office, with VIM B. Thomas or with Chas. V.
Wantz, not later than Wednesday noon next.
Persons at New Windsor can leave names and
Money with f. J. Devilbiss.

The sleighing season has been all that could

regularly for two weeks, with short intermis-

Many of our farmers have been busily en-
gagged hauling grain and wood to town, and
some hauling back lime stone.
The Washington road, we would venture to
say, has more travel on it daily than any other
road in the county, running north and south.
We have noticed since the snow as many rs
fifty teams and sleighs going up and down
daily Now the road is solid and affords
convenient travel but when the thaw OF
spring comes it is generally hard, rough
highway. We have often thought it would be
a paying investment if the capitalists OF the
county would invest a part of their surplus
capital in piking this road from Westminster
to the old Liberty road, near Berret 7. o.
Then we could boast of good road the year
round and those who have hauling to do from
the lower part of the county to Westminster
could haul, on an average, more with four
horses than they usually do with FIVE. Be-
sides, pike on this road would greatly facil
itate travel and increase the value of our land,
as a whole, fourfold.
We learn that John L. Shipley, of Bird Hill,
one of our enterprising hucksters, has pur-
chased for $1,000 from the Davis heirs, the
homestead, consisting of the buildings and
acres of land. The property is certainly very
cheap, as the buildings thereon are nearly all
new and of modern style.
